Does Reliant Energy Require a Deposit?

A deposit is required before my Reliant service can begin. How can I satisfy this requirement? You have several options for paying or satisfying your deposit: Pay online with a bank account; if you are already enrolled, you can set up your online account to pay now.

How do I get my deposit back from Reliant Energy?

How will I receive it? Deposits made with cash, check or credit card will be returned as a credit to your account after you have made 12 consecutive, on-time electric bill payments. If you leave Reliant and switch to a different electricity provider, we will use your deposit to pay your final bill.

Does Reliant offer payment plans?

Deferred Payment Plans

You will pay the rest in installments along with your next few current monthly bills (invoices). If you agree to a deferred payment plan, you will not be able to switch to another electricity provider until your deferred balance is paid in full.
